A little shameless plugging: I am on the board for Hope House, a Madison, Wisconsin charity that helps women and their families transition into a better life by providing housing and support.

If you are a Madison-area gardener, you can support Hope House at Klein’s Floral and Greenhouses when you buy plants this spring: mention Hope House at the checkout and Hope House receives a portion of the sale price to continue helping Madison area families. You can find out more about Hope House here (not the greatest web page, I know: we’ll work on that). Klein’s is here.

I hear that the women who live at the house now are trying their hands at vegetable gardening this summer: hopefully they are better at it than I am!
